Connector with an improved housing

摘要

An electrical connector of the present invention comprises an insulative housing defining a plurality of long and short contact receiving slots and a plurality of corresponding long and short contacts received in the corresponding long and short contact receiving slots. Each slot comprises a horizontal passage and a vertical passage. A notch is defined on a front end of a supporting wall of the horizontal passage of the long contact receiving slot. A cantilever member upwardly extends from a bottom of the notch for interfering with and applying elastic pressure on an embossment of the long contact thus assuring proper orientation of the long contact in the housing.
